Error installing PHP PEAR ubuntu 12.04

Question

I installed PHP PEAR on ubuntu using

sudo apt-get install php-pear

After a successful installation for the first time. When I try to run it in the terminal , it shows an error:

The program 'pear' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install php-pear

I tried to install it again. Then it shows that

php-pear is already the newest version.

I checked a lot of questions about SO. Each question refers to the whereabouts of the pear, etc. But the above error is not resolved.

I even tried to install the pear many times using sudo and run it. He gives the same error.

Please help sort it out.
